Iran on Tuesday accused U.S. President Donald Trump of encouraging political destabilization, inciting violence, and threatening the country’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national security. The statement was made by Iran’s U.N. Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani in a letter to the U.N. Security Council.
“The United States and the Israeli regime bear direct and undeniable legal responsibility for the resulting loss of innocent civilian lives, particularly among the youth,” Iravani wrote in the letter, which was also sent to U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
The ambassador’s letter was issued in response to a social media post by President Trump earlier on Tuesday.
